O~ r OWNERSHIP OF THE AIR Questions concerning the ownership of rwrs, lakes and oceans upon which a man’s property may abut have been settled time and time again in the courts, but the question of how high into the atmosphere above his rooftop a man’s jurisdiction extends is st 11 very much “up in the air.’’ A Massachusetts man has been refused an injunction against that Westchester Airport, Inc., to restrain airplanes from flying low over his 400-acre estate. The state law prohib ts flying at lower than 500 feet over a man’s house, except when taking off or landing. Aviation has been recognized as a necessary instrument of modern life by the Government by its adoption of laws and rules for aviation but the' ownership of the air is yet a question that the United Spates Supreme Court will be called upon to settle.

Each day he managed to crawl up for three feet, but at night he slipped back two feet. How many days did it take him to get out of the well? The answer is “18” but try it on your friends and see how few will give it correctly. Naturally, at the end of the 17th night, the snail has gone 17 feet. The next day he reaches the top of the well and of course will not slip down that night. o JERUSALEM IN HISTORY Jerusalem exists today, but the ancient city of Jerusalem was finally destroyed in its siege and capture by Titus in 70 A.

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS There is n 6 great secret in the fact that some folk are able to keep cut flowers so much longer than others. It’s simply in knowing how and any of you can do as well if you will just pay attention to a few little details. In the first place most flowers seem to* keep better if they are cut early in the morning before the dew is off their, petals. They absorb moisture and vitality all night and when you cut them early they are full of it and will last much better. Then the soon-, er you get them into water the better they will be. Another thing, plunge the stems deep in the water as they will absorb that much better, if you are cutting hard-stemmed things as the Roses, Peonies, Crysanthemums and similar things, split, the stems with a knife an inch z or so up from the cut end. This will allow the water to be absorbed that much easier. Aftej/cutting flowers and placing them in water set ’them in a coo! and preferably darkened place for a few hours. This may not always be possible but it will help if you will do it. In cutting always cut on an angle and cutting with a knife is considered better than with snips unless the snips are very sharp. Dull snips crush the stems and so prevent them from taking water freely. Cut flowers should never stand in a draught. This will make them wilt much faster than where there is no draught. Neither should they stand in the sun. Sometimes when you are given some flowers and are not able to get them into water till they have become apparently hopelessly wilted, if you will try this it may help. Fill the vessel you are going to put them into with hot water, about as hot as you can. stand having your hand .in, and put your bouquet in this water. It will, many times, revive when nothing else will bring it to. And don’t forget to cut the stems every time when you bring flowers in from the garden. o — AETER 25 YEARS On June 16, 1903; 25 years ago, the Ford Motor Company commenced business with a capitalzation of SIOO 000, of which only $28,000 has ever been paid into the treasury. Production began in a small factory in which 311 men were employed. They made 1,708 cars in the first year. The company’s assests now run into hundreds of millions of dollars and it has assembling plants in many countries. In nineteen years the company produced 15.000,000 of the old Model T Fords, once reaching, a peak of 9,000 a day. It is now getting under way for even larger production. The most outstanding feature of this great industry is the fact that it has been created without bond issues, watered stock, money advanced by the public or f»om employees pay envelopes. Every man connected with the original organization has become independently wealthy. o — Classified ads pay both—the seller and buyer.

RILES OF THE ROAD Motorists who do not realize that a license to drive imposes obligations should be denied the privilege of using the streets and the highways. Many motorists seem to think that possession of an automobile gives them super r’ghts with regard to the streets. This idea is quite wrong. Instead, it increases their responsibilities Otherwise why should the state declare itself in interest and provide for the examination of those who seek the right to drive cars? Revocation of licenses t>y various states is a simple safety-first principle, but the growing number of unnecessary accidents and fatalities to innocent children and other pedestrians indicates that the job is little more than half done. The chief trouble seems to be that original examinations of drivers qualifications are not as thorough as, the inspection given to the car. There are too many drivers who want to show just how fast the old bus can go regardless of the rules of the road or the rights of others. o Hebe Daniels in “Feel my Pulse" a clever cometly at Crystal.
